Right, but like I said it would need to be in a place people would see it. Even those who are new. Also no one will be at that chat right now because of it being dead. All chat rooms are like that. As long as it shows people going on and off and it being alive then others will stay and give it a chance.

Also I have friends on chatango who are looking for a place to chat. They would most likely be there along with whoever else they invite. And they may even become members here.

A lot of websites were able to gain members because of chatango chat rooms. There are thousands of people on that site and when they make a chat room their home they eventually want to see the host site as well. As long as nothing goes wrong with the chat like it losing mods or mods creating drama and such...

AND ANOTHER THING...Uni mentioned that these forums aren't as active as before..so you can't blame this thread for that. I'm sure the only reason why you two posted is 'cause you saw my posts. I normally don't reply to any threads either so I can understand some people....

Hey, I'd really like as many opinions on this as possible!
I've already talked with Andy about this and I agree it's up to everyone else whether this is a good idea or not. So please bear with me and read everything I have to say about the topic.

Now, just like the title says it's about having a chat room for Mangable. A chat room that's commonly used on other Manga and Anime sites, Chatango. I noticed some of you are already familiar with Chatango. For those who aren't, Chatango is a separate site for chatting. There you can make a profile and chat rooms that can be embedded on to another site.

There are many reasons on why you might consider putting a chat room on Mangable. For example:

A place to chat and take a break from reading with many people instantly.

Advertisement for Mangable (this will be more clear later when you visit the chat room).

If you're like me then it would also be a place to fit in to.

The main problem I see with a chat room is keeping it active. As long as it doesn't show there are less than 5 people on the window then others are willing to stay. If a chat room seems like a good idea it needs to be in a place where everyone (even new comers) will see it.

I've been to many chat rooms that were part of anime sites (Tailedfox) and manga sites (Our Manga). Each one died because of problems happening on both the chat room (was abandoned by mods) and the host site (anime videos crashed). Mangable has many fans and doesn't seem to be going down any time soon x3
Also it's manga, manga never dies.

Below is a link to the chat room that may or may not be used (again it's up to all of you, so for now it's just a test chat). If the community doesn't want it then it's only fair not to have it. When you visit go ahead and look around. You don't need an account to chat there. Also, very important, take a look at the rules that are set up too. See if they may be too strict or not.
